Soliciting opinions, positives/negatives. One piece versus two piece? Two
layer with flame retardant undies versus three layer with out.
I've only used a 1 piece 3-layer suit. I like it. With a 3-layer suit and
no nomex undies, i think its a lot easier to get comfortable out of the car
- wear gym shorts and a T-shirt under a 3-layer suit and you can get out of
it pretty quick without having to go somewhere else and change. I suppose
a 2-piece suit offers a similar advantage (take off the top only) but I'd
rather get out of the whole thing. Note: so far, I've only raced in The
Sunny South - in a northern climate YMMV
I must add this: I think the Cool Shirt is the greatest invention since
the wheel - in August at Roebling Road, the heat index was 107 degrees - the
most comfortable place to be was in the car in a 3 piece suit, balaclava,
and full face helmet - with ice water running thru the Cool Shirt.
Cheers,
Jack Mc
